JellyBean Speculation/News/Discussion Thread

To prevent the forum getting clogged up with "jellybean" threads, i have created this to centralize all. Please only post Jellybean related stuff here, ignoring this could be taken as failure to cooperate with a moderator.

I'll start !

No more Adobe Flash-Player for Android >=4.1.
Tho I like that decision, it might suck for some people that visit websites which use alot of Flash.

Not a problem for me, but yeah, some will not like that too much....

I guess it's pretty stupid to make it incompatible. Why cannot they just leave it put by default and let it work with other browsers of the user chooses to download it from Play?

Chrome as a default browser is GREAT.

They'll definitely put a lot of effort to it and make it even better with shorter release cycles and so forth.

Jelly Bean source comes out in July.

jmacdonald19 · Jun 29, 2012

Had someone with a Nexus that already had JellyBean on it and he gave me a demonstration of "Google Now". Never was that interested in the whole Siri thing but I have to say I was damned impressed. And now I know how tall Mt. Everest is too!

Very, VERY Excited for Jellybean. I used to have a nexus and literally sold it 2 days before jellybean came out for it (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY) but I am content for now with ice cream sandwich. Jellybean is really nice, my friend has my old nexus and let me try out all of the new features, our phone is still faster though.

My guess is, that Google will implement Flash into Chrome, maybe even as a system-app.
Google said that they'll support and keep developing Flash for Chrome(Linux-Version)

As I understood it, Adobe will leave the app in the store, they just won't optimize/develop it any further. And as I said in my earlier post, Google will keep developing Flash Player for Linux as a plugin for Chrome. So my guess is, that they will implement it in their Chrome-App.

Flash always sucked in perfomance and had security issues all the way. HTML5 is the way to go. We just gotta hope that more and more websites will support HTML5 instead of lame Flash Player.

Maybe flash is just integrated

Flash player is going to go away in the future anyways, it's all going towards html5. You're going to start seeing more html5 and less flash on the internet.

I agree, Adobe decided to kill flash. Google has no reason to keep flash alive. Don't you think Chrome would already support Flash if they were going to?

thanks for the information, i feel more relieved

Ahh the long months before we get a glimpse of Jelly Bean on our device...

GerBBAR14_c · Jun 30, 2012

So how is this going to work?

The JB source will be released in July, right? Can modders start building full, working ROM's after that or do they need something more? What? Do we need something from HTC?

The system dump or anythin' like that isn't enough for a fully working ROM, AFAIK - right?

Dunno about making ROM's like... anything

Thanks for everyone who dedicate their time for this!!

the jb developer kit is already available for download from google, the ota updates will begin for the nexus line in july. The ability to create a aosp rom is already available. I believe we already have some devs working on a kernel.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am new to the One S picture. The Ville will be getting JB, correct? I'm guessing it is, but just a matter of when.
